    Abstract

    The synthesis, mesomorphic properties and UV absorption spectra of laterally fluorine substituted, and the corresponding unsubstituted, 4'-alkyl-, 4'-alkoxy-, 4'-alkylcyclohexyl-, 4'-alkylbicyclo [2,2,2] octyl- and 4'-alkylcyclohexylethyl-4-isothiocyanatotolanes are described. Multicomponent broad range nematic mixtures with birefiringence values higher than 0.4 and moderate viscosities are developed.
